Showerthought: I thought coal was just a messy hassle until I tried it for a leaf spring

I was a gas forge guy for years, convinced coal was too much work. Then a smith in Knoxville showed me his setup for working a truck leaf spring, and the heat control was way better for that thick steel. Anyone else switch fuels for a specific job and get surprised?

Got me thinking about using coke instead of plain coal.
